0956: Our Busia reporter files this story - Busia District Hospital authorities today barred a man from leaving institution to go and vote since he was nursing a child that was being treated for tetanus.

According to the hospital matron, Ms Semrick Obel, the 55 year old Alex Musina, from Shinamwenyuli village in Butere district, had initially sought discharge for the child to enable him vote .

"There are those we can permit to go and vote after assessing the condition and how long they can take outside, but not this particular one" said Sister Obel wondering why the ECK didn't consider setting up mobile polling stations in hospitals.

"If KNEC can bring examinations in the hospital what prevents ECK to bring the ballot boxes here?" she asked, adding that many patients had felt disenfranchised.

The nurses said that tetanus was a dangerous disease that the government may need to investigate if immunization was appropriately carried out in the patients' place of origin.

'The government has spent a lot of money on treating the child who is now showing signs of recovery and now you want to discharged him against medical recommendation, we can't allow that", the matron told the man and threatened to report him to the Children 's department for child abuse.

We cannot have an illiterate president who does not know where his name is.

He did that intentionally to make the world see that the elections are being rigged. Raila is a loser. He is just trying to justify his reasons to claim foul play. Raila and the Standard Newspapers will flop. KTN even gives Raila a chance to speak on TV on the day of the electuions and it is not allowed internationally for a candidate to appear to campaign on election day.

His friend Kwendo Opanga has always been like the party newspaper editor and today they have reported that names starting with A, O are missing because they are associated with Raila Odinga. Kibaki will win and if reports we have at the moment are true, then wait for today evening and hear the results.

In Uhuru Primary, there were no queues in lines with A and O, yet at the end of the day, it will be said that the elections were rigged.

To HELL with THe STANDARD. KWEDNO OPANGA, a KANU operative should be fired from his job. He has no business being at a newspaper that has for five years been fighting the government. Shame on Kwendo. Like Raila, KTN and the Standard are losers. They made innocent people (policemen be killed) in Nyanza. To HELL. I will NOT buy the Standard again.

I have just completed my vote at olympic primary.The turn out is massive and there is a rumour floating that Livondo WHO IS SUPPORTED BY KINA KIBAKI ETI AMNG'OE RAILA KWA LANGATA CONSTITUENCY bado hajulikani alipo na kuna umbeya unasema amejiuzulu kwa niaba ya Raila dakika ya mwisho! Nimeiskia lakini ngojeni nidhibitishe for now its just a rumour among the queuing crowds of people.I will go back later to make sure the counting is without PANUA tricks.

But as news from other areas stream in its hard to understand how such stupid mistakes can be made.ECK should employ qualified and experienced staff.This is so unprofessional.These mix-up will deny most poeple especially women,nursing mothers,a chance to vote as dusk will fall on them,rains in some part might deter voters staying late.Atleast in nairobi most pple including women have vowed to wait till they vote,but in many parts of shags delays will affect total voter numbers.

Voting has been delayed in Budalangi primary school after a mix up with parliamentary ballot papers.

ECK returning officer Lydia Nambenge said the parliamentary ballot papers produced at the polling station were intended for Bura constituency.

Nambenge said the papers have been taken back to Nairobi and they're waiting for the proper parliamentary papers to be flown to Budalangi.

Mix up of ballot papers were recorded as those of Eldoret North found in Naivasha, Changamwe found in Kajiado North and Gatanga in Kitutu Chache
